Soothe

When it comes to emotional health, we're all busting our backsides trying to make ourselves feel better. We channel positive thoughts, walk 10,000 steps, say what we're grateful for, search for our passion, buy an expensive juicer, and finally, in a fit of exhaustion, we turn to the comfort of eating, drinking, scrolling social media, and anything else that gives a little instant relief.

In Soothe: Your Mind-Body-Spirit Guide for Dealing with Crappy Emotions, psychologist and basically your new best friend, Dr. Heidi Kopacek, gives you a holistic approach to de-frazzling from 21st century stress and negativity. In this hilarious, practical and yet fiercely honest book, learn once and for all:
